Is Manual transmission available with LB?

I can understand them not making certain models in MT all together but the fact that they make different configurations only available in Canada or the US makes no sense to me. If you're already making it for one market, why not the other? I'd love an Access Cab Off Road in M/T.

 

Around these parts, I will see sells successes sometimes before I am aware that they are getting to dealers. It took months to see the first Ranger. Still, they are few and about half are fleet vehicles. It's kinda sad really.

On the other side, I have seen several Tesla Model Ys, one Rolls SUV, a couple of the Bentleys, and even one of the butt ugly BMW X7s. This is just around our middling suburbia.

Raptor are everywhere as are most other special trims.

Of course, Tacos are probably only second to the Ford full sizers. At least three 3rd Gens on every drive with many 1st and 2nd Gens.

 

I agree, thats a crazy mystery.

 

i think the take rate on manuals are so low because 90% of the people ive talked to didnt even know the tacoma came in a manual. i bet if they actually marketed and advertised the manual option theyd sell a whole lot more

 

I am always shocked to see a Ranger, but I've seen quite a few more than expected though. But perhaps that has to do with being in Michigan. I probably see more Colorados than anything, but they've been around longer. I see a lot of old school Rangers, S10's, and Dakota's too. I've seen more Tacos since getting mine, but I suspect that is just because I notice them now.

 

Definitely a lot of the twins around here. And a lot of out of production stuff.

I definitely notice the Tacos more now. Although, they have been on our radar since the 1st Gen. I should have gotten one then.

 

some funny stories in this thread lol

anyway, the list gets ever so short boys. but, toyota looks like it has the most cars from the list lol. its such a shame the supra isnt manual trans, and doesnt seem like its gonna be. thats a damn enthusiast car. they want to notch into gear, not pretend to. as for the truck market, looks like its only tacoma and gladiator, no way right?

I'm waiting on mine as we speak . There were none left around here after that covid shit. I have to wait for the 2021 to come . Sales man said October , I wanted a black access cab off road with manual tranny .

 

Add 13" to the rear of the frame, drop on a long bed, and then link it with 40" arms mounted to the stock front leaf mounts.

 

You don't think you could just pop the clutch regardless if it's keyed vs push button start if the battery were to die?

 

Im not sure as i have never owned a vehicle with push button start.

 

It depends? As noted above, the PTS MT Corolla could be a challenge. I have no experience here except that the low voltage cutoff for just the ECU / ignition can be a PITA these days.

Something like 10v, where a shorted cell is 9v. LoL!


It'll take a few gizmos as possible, which is becoming impossible.

 

This. I made multiple sacrifices much to the displeasure of my wife. Life is too short to drive automatic lol.

 

You and me both!! Very disappointing

 

Add Cavalry blue color option and MT and your chances of finding one are slim..

 

Man! A 2017 Cavalry Blue ACLB OR MT would have been the perfect Taco for me.

 

I have never even seen one, do they even exist?

The only OR AC MT i saw in 2 years was MGM. Extremely rare over here.

 

I’m glad it was only offered for 2019 (2018 for pro only) actually...more rare as time goes by..

 

No! The only blue was BBP. To me, it looks good in certain lighting, but too bright in other lighting. A midnight blue, Spruce Mica, or Cavalry Blue (OR only) would have sucked me in hard. In the end, I'm happy with BR. It is our first red vehicle. I never thought I would own one, but it works. MGM was the alternate, but I swear that it is the same color code as our Forester. Can't do that.


That ACLB OR MT is also not even a unicorn here. Just dumb.

 

I like seeing them on the road.
